Material Changes
On February 18, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an Annual Incentive Bonus Plan for Senior Executives. This plan establishes a framework for annual cash awards based on company-wide and individual performance goals.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
- Compensation Structure: The plan targets senior executives, including the CEO and CFO. Target bonuses are expressed as a percentage of base salary and established by March 31 of each fiscal year.
- Performance Metrics: Bonuses are split into two components:
- Company Goals: Tied to financial targets and metrics such as net sales, EBIT, operating cash flow, market share, and debt reduction. A matrix system allows for maximum or minimum payments; failure to meet minimums results in no payment for this component.
- Individual Goals: Focused on specific objectives for the executive's area of responsibility. Target payout is 100%, with actual payments ranging from 0% to over 100% based on performance.
- Payment Timing: Awards are determined and paid by March 15 following the fiscal year.
